After taking several days to prepare himself properly, Gio took another trip to Helix. He messaged Klyde beforehand to meet him at a coffee shop, and when he arrived, the man was indeed there.
He couldn't help that Klyde would look suspicious no matter where he was until he could convince the man to get actual facial alteration tech so he could stop hiding his face. The only thing he could do was order his coffee and sit down, looking out into the busy streets.
"How has it been this past week? You've stayed away from her, right?"
Klyde gave him a sidelong glance.
"If you had waited another day, I would have stopped listening to you. You got lucky."
"No, it's more like you got lucky. Don't ruin things now."
Shaking his head, Klyde sneered at Gio.
"Ruin things? That day, after you left, I was beaten within an inch of my life and told to stay away from her. What can I even ruin?"
